Campaigns

For its first 10 years Human Agenda held five annual signature events on the love ethic, a farmworker reality tour, celebration of Take Back Your Time Day, a hunger banquet coinciding with the United Nations Human Rights Day, and a VisionQuest. Human Agenda continues to engage in education and dialogue through regular Human Agenda Roundtables, but has made the turn from education to advocacy through inter-connected projects focused on democracy, sustainability, reduced work hours, social justice, and loving kindness.

Statement of the Case.

After engaging with farmworker families in migrant housing centers in Gilroy and Watsonville for over a decade, Human Agenda and the Center for Farmworker Families seek to change state regulation thereby allowing migrant farmworker children in Santa Clara County and California to stay at one school year-round, and succeed. Under existing state regulations migrant families in 24 federally subsidized California migrant housing centers are forced to move at least 50 miles away when the growing season is over, disrupting their children's education. These children are required to attend a different school with disarticulated curricula from November to May, the heart of the school year.

Human Agenda

The mission of Human Agenda is to envision a world where the human needs of all can be met, engage the community in forging local institutions that are democratic, cooperative, egalitarian, sustainable, and kind, and take individual responsibility to embody the change we’d like to see.
